Adjust the In Point by holding down the Alt key and placing the cursor over the left half of the
icon, so it reads “IN”. Drag horizontally to set a new In Point. Adjust the Out Point by placing the
cursor over the right side of the clip and dragging horizontally while holding the Alt key.
Alternatively, you can press the left/right arrow keys to move the Edit Line frame by frame to the
exact spot you intend, using the Project monitor as a reference. Then press either the i or o key
on your keyboard (i for In Point and o for Out Point). Depending which key you press, the In or
Out Point for the clip immediately snaps to the Edit Line.
Hint: If you’re nimble, you can even adjust In and Out Points on the fly. Just double-click a
thumbnail icon on the Storyboard to start playing at that clip, then hit i and o as the clip plays
(this works with just one clip at a time, mind you.)
TRIM AUDIO ONLY
To alter the audio edit points only (without adjusting the
corresponding video clip) hold down Alt + Ctrl as you are
dragging. The green bar will move, but the blue one will
not.
SLIP AND SLIDE
To move an In or Out while maintaining the length of a clip, you can perform a Slip and Slide
operation. Hold down Alt + Shift and the cursor says S/S. As you drag the mouse, the bars move
left or right accordingly, yet remain the same length. (The keystroke shortcut for ‘audio-only Slip
and Slide’ is Alt + Shift + Ctrl.)
DEFAULT IN AND OUT POINTS
When you bring a clip into the editor, the software automatically sets the In Point one full
second after the beginning of the clip; likewise, the Out Point is set one second before the end.
This gives room for the addition of seamless transitions. Of course, you can always manually
adjust the In and Out points yourself as the whole clip on file is available.
